Not the same price bracket, but they offer nice case and power supply for a fanless HTPC with up to 95W TPD CPU, if you really need that kind of power

Well, you have two dissipators of 350mm x 100mm x 20mm, 6 junctions, very long calodcs and you must keep the CPU die under 70° (to avoid CPU throttling)
I’m often lazy for calculations but there are good class A amp builders here and they often calcuate it.
I was really thinking that it was a serious topic… it is designed for a 95W CPU plus a GPU, IMHO a single 35W CPU is the grand maximum for this expensive beautifull box (perhaps less)

I got this via kickstarter: https://shop.udoo.org/eu/x86/udoo-x86-advanced-plus.html
Works like a charm with OpenElec/Kodi. But soon will be replaced by a UP2 http://up-shop.org/4-up-boards with less memory. Since Kodi uses only about 300mb and the UdooX86 has 4GB. So I'm going to find something else for the Udoo to do. Both also in the 150USD range.
These boards have eMMc and working memory already so no buying of SSD's or memory. All you need right out of the box.

Sorry again... there are 4 junctions per side for a total of 8 junctions (without considering fluids and air)
1- CPU die/heatspeader
2- Heatspreader/calocuc block
3- Caloduc block/Caloduc
4- Caloduc/Dissipator
Chinese people can make good things, depending on what we buy to them
Great tiny computers, but here we are talking about relatively high computing power.
The choice of a AMD APU should perhaps try to compete with the intel CPUs in term of efficiency without specific optimizations ?
I'm not sure you will reach the average skill level here (unless you are looking for the most advanced specialists). most normal computers users (like me) consume the most part of their computer processor ressouces by using unoptimized programs.
My Intel E2180 (2Ghz core2 duo) was at 42% of CPU ressource consumption with equalizer APO (way too much for a good system responsiveness)
I only trust real life benches... i've upgraded very old AMD semprons with some Celerons E3400 (dual core at 2.6Ghz of 2010) in order to have a homogenous performance computer fleet.
The old celerons E2180 (core2 duo at 2Ghz of 2007) of the rest of the fleet are faster !
Why... i don't know.
Interesting. I find sleeve-bearing fans at 500rpm effectively inaudible from >1M - quieter than my amp's transformer hum.
Have you tried with an open case? Removing the Helmholtz resonance can make this quieter than a closed box.
Also interesting. After a few years of watercooling, I switched back to air in 2008. Pump noise became a major issue as the rest of my PC became quieter.
Amen! Use SSDs near the stereo, and keep the spinning rust on the network.
That's for the CPU's case, not die. Looking at the die sensor, throttling occurs in the 90-100C region. Here's an example Kaby Lake for reference.
This is the problem, i don't want to use an open case, i don't like to see (and touch) the internals components (fragile).
Have you tried an imerged and decoupled Eheim 1046 with a custom rotor in a high flow WC ?
I've read in some german aquarist forums (google translated) that some people have reported more than 30 years of continuous operation with this kind of pumps, my 1046 are 13years and the fluid is 6years.
100° at the processor die gives around 65° at the IHS, and you are in the destructive zone (bugs and errors should occur)
... The i3-7300 has no IHS, so you can only use smallish noisy radiators.
